Electrum-GRS - Lightweight Groestlcoin client =====================================

Licence: MIT Licence
Author: Groestlcoin Developers
Language: Python
Homepage: https://groestlcoin.org/

Electrum-GRS is a pure python application. However, if you want to use the Qt interface, then you need to install the Qt dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4

If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), then you can run Electrum-GRS from its root directory, without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Electrum-GRS from its root directory, just do:

./electrum-grs

You can also install Electrum-GRS on your system, by running this command:

python setup.py install

This will download and install the Python dependencies used by Electrum-GRS, instead of using the 'packages' directory.

If you cloned the git repository, then you need to compile extra files before you can run Electrum-GRS. Read the next section, "Development Version".

Check out the code from Github:

git clone git://github.com/groestlcoin/electrum-grs.git
cd electrum-grs

Run install (this should install dependencies):

python setup.py install

Compile the icons file for Qt:

sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools
pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py

Compile the protobuf description file:

sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
protoc --proto_path=lib/ --python_out=lib/ lib/paymentrequest.proto

Create translations (optional):

sudo apt-get install python-pycurl gettext
./contrib/make_locale

In order to create binaries, you must create the 'packages' directory:

./contrib/make_packages

This directory contains the python dependencies used by Electrum-GRS.

# On MacPorts installs: 
sudo python setup-release.py py2app

# On Homebrew installs: 
ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" sudo python setup-release.py py2app --includes sip

sudo hdiutil create -fs HFS+ -volname "Electrum-GRS" -srcfolder dist/Electrum-grs.app dist/electrum-VERSION-macosx.dmg
